Bug 21997 - SIP patron information requests can lock patron out of account

Many SIP services send an empty password field (AD). Even if
allow_empty_passwords is enabled for the given SIP account, this empty password
is run though Koha's password checker which increments the number of login
attempts for a patron. Thus repeated patron information requests can lock a
patron out! Empty password fields in SIP should not call for a password check
if allow_empty_passwords is enabled.

Test Plan:
1) Enable a patron password attempt with a limit of 3
2) Send 4 patron information requests with an empty AD field
3) Note the patron's account is now locked
4) Apply this patch
5) Repeat step 2 with a different patron
6) Note the patron's account does not get locked!
